The Eagle podfic: Ringed With Silver

[sophinisba]

Title: Ringed With Silver
Author: carmarthen
Reader: sophinisba
Fandom: The Eagle
Starring: Marcus/Esca
Rating: NC-17
Contains: piercings, masochism, reference to a past erastes/eromenos relationship (teen Marcus/adult OMC), + canonical slavery, violence, war...
Author's summary: "In which Marcus and Esca bond over their quasi-historical body piercings; Marcus pines a lot, gets hit in the face, and develops hypothermia; and Esca takes advantage of Saturnalia. A kinkmeme fill that somehow grew a plot."
Reader's notes: For the "body alteration/injury" square on my second kink_bingo card. Thanks to isis for suggesting I check out this fandom (I enjoyed the movie very much!) and to glim for Latin help (mistakes are my own, of course). If you would like to know more about the historicity of these piercings, carmarthen has some very interesting notes and links on the fic post linked above.

This was fantastic. I mean, I already knew I loved your voice but I always forget how *much* I love your voice.

I keep trying to understand what it is about your readings that makes everything so overwhelmingly sexy and it's so hard for me to articulate. You don't overplay things, there wasn't even really any sex noises in this one for you to work with. I can only conclude that it's something intrinsic to your voice. So, let's never meet in real life, ok? That could get very awkward for me:D

And of course, the sexy isn't all you're bringing to your work. There's so much more, especially in this one, with the stilted formality Marcus has, his stand offishness and desire to connect with Esca even though he believes it to be impossible. And that may *sound* like I'm commenting on the writing and it's characterisation but I'm not, it's what comes through in your reading.
